Unida Nicaragua Triunfa
PRESS RELEASE
NICARAGUA AND PALESTINE
The Government of Reconciliation and National Unity informs the People of Nicaragua and the International Community that on April 1st 2025, Nicaragua had decided to discontinue the proceedings filed before the International Court of Justice relating to the very serious violations of the Rights of the Palestinian People and State. This decision was due to the high financial cost involved for a developing country with the economic restrictions that Nicaragua suffers, to be able to continue with these judicial procedures.
However, over the last week there has been an upsurge in violations against the Palestinian People and even against international humanitarian services, leaving totally evident the violation of all norms of international law by Israel and especially the total complicity of some Western countries, which have decided to continue their political, economic and military support to those responsible for these crimes.
In view of the above, making a great effort, Nicaragua has decided to notify the International Court of Justice that it wishes to continue with its judicial procedures over the violations of the Rights of the Palestinian People.
This decision has also been reached taking into account offers of help and collaboration which have been received so as to be able to continue with these procedures before the International Court.
The Government of Reconciliation and National Unity reaffirms its steadfast commitment to the rule of law at the International level and to the peaceful settlement of disputes between States.
